Gallows Humor and Oh My Aching Head

[fureverywhere]

I was trying to fix a fence issue a bit ago. Trying to fasten an extension to the neighbor's fence. Our yard is uneven and the part by the house makes the fence only four feet high. Callie is too bulky to jump it, but the neighbor is still scared witless.

So here was the wooden extension, maybe forty pounds of solid wood...that tipped...BANG. Manly that I try to be it did hurt. Then my daughter started going all shrieky on me. Okay a spot of blood on my glove, my glasses...Houston we have a problem...

The first thought was a shower to clean up things. If my son turns away from his video game...I imagined I wasn't looking so hot. Then I got downstairs and Sophie refuses to leave the bathroom. Now I'm all cleaned up and my head hasn't fallen off...yet.

But in the shower I managed to find a chuckle despite all. You know the ending of "Carrie" ?

Head feels better, a Slurpie cures everything. And while I was laying on a soft pillow for a few minutes I went all light bulb creative. That fence be blocked seriously now...maybe it doesn't look as wonderful as the rest of her perfectly appointed yard...but she will not see them and even Sophie can't jump eight feet up. If she makes a complaint the fence and yard are 100% secure. Maybe she can try a noise complaint but the only time they really bark at all is briefly when she is in the driveway. They really seldom make a sound.
